Time To Say Goodbye - VICTIM, a hilarious new novel by Andrew Boryga. Plus Caitlin Clark takes and James by Percival Everett

Hello!

Today, we have a great conversation with Andrew Boryga, the author of VICTIM, a truly subversive and funny novel about a young writer who hustles his way through the media world by just giving it what it wants from him: oppression stories, identity trauma tales, and a lot of embellishment.

We also talk about Caitlin Clark (Jay tries to do a sports talk segment) and the great novel JAMES by Percival Everett. Do books like JAMES and VICTIM signal some change in the way that the publishing industry thinks about race and what stories it might want to promote right now?

ALSO WE ARE NOW ON YOUTUBE. Please take the time to check out our video stuff and subscribe if you can.

Enjoy!

Native America Calling - Wednesday, June 12, 2024 – The inevitable and increasing heat and wildfire threat

An early summer heat wave just scorched the Southwest, breaking high temperature records, and another potentially record-breaking weather system is on it’s way. 2023 was the worst year on record for heat-related deaths in Phoenix, Ariz. A 14-year study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds Indigenous populations in the U.S. suffer a higher percentage of heat-related deaths than any other population. NASA is just one of the agencies documenting the increasing frequency of high heat and drought, both of which put fire management officials on alert for the potential of another destructive wildfire season. We’ll find out how Native American emergency management and public health officials are gearing up to prepare for potentially deadly weather conditions.
